I'm up for possibly winning a free new game of my choice! Anyway happy holidays everyone!

Top of the morning to ya laddy!

In response to post #37973010. #37973215 is also a reply to the same post. Does that mean we may see some fixes for any long standing bugs in FileFront mods?

In response to post #37972735. I too have at least a couple of these namely the following:- * Unreal Tournament 3 - Filefront has mods for this title but were only hosted there! * Unreal Tournament 2004 - Filefront has mods for this title but were only hosted there! * Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Also supported mods using Quake 3 based engine. * Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic 1 & 2 - Also could use mods but possibly unofficially (may need checking). * Star Trek: Elite Force 1 & 2 - It also supported mods using a modified Quake 3 Team Arena engine. Same also for this title about FileFront only mod hosting. @Dark0ne - Please don't forget the Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory and the mods made for it.

Hi, I don't mind making my own character names however when using a modification like "Dead Is Dead" and using multiple characters avoiding repetition can get difficult or boring potentially very fast. I have seen that there is a random name generator for generic NPC characters. There isn't one for generating player character names however. So is it possible for one to be developed which can generate player character names please on the fly in game? The code would likely go something like this:- Declare variables for RaceMenu API access Declare rndIntNumber As Long Integer Declare variables for Access to a text file flPCNameDatabase = Open File (Path to name database) rndIntNumber = genRandomInt[1,last record long integer ID in flPCNameDatabase) Query database for record matching ID. Retrieve the record using the ID and copy the forename, surname and/or title to a variable Access the RaceMenu API and copy the variable's contents to the Name field used by RaceMenu and Skyrim. The name database would preferrably need to be using medieval names to follow something close to lore and/or immersion. An example source of said names could be from a site like Medieval Names database on stormthecastle.com (http://medieval.stormthecastle.com/medieval-names.htm). There are likely other such databases on the internet trying searching for "Medieval Names" or "Lists of Medieval Names".

@BlindJudge - I've also just completed the survey as well.

Dear Sir/Madam, First of all an apology to any mod author whose mod I haven't endorsed following a download. Sorry but I may not have been able to sufficiently use your modification yet or it may have been for the following reason below in my suggestion. If it is for the reason below you can have my heartfelt sincere apology for having done so and can consider the modification endorsed (in the appropriate cases). I have downloaded many modifications in the past. I have recently gone and endorsed most of them following using them. However don't take this as an excuse but for some of them there wasn't any information about the filename of the esp and/or esm files present, along with other necessary information. As a result it was required to download said modification in order to obtain it. I have recently used most of those modifications and endorsed as well as commented having doing so (where it was possible). Though in some cases the modification was downloaded for said information. This information is important to fomod package makers like me as it can be used for dependency checks. They were downloaded in order to obtain this information for packages which I were making for other modifications and myself. I have at times when a fomod was particularly well made and/or the author didn't seem to know how to make one for themselves offered the one I made to the author. To aid future package makers (as well as myself) in creating such scripted installation packages, could the plugin and master filenames (as well as mod file structure) please be posted in a sticky or have a method for PMing said information. This may help to avoid un-necessary downloads unless the individual is interested in using the modification. So the authors can get accurate endorsement, feedback, votes and/or donation where appropriate. While helping to keep the number of modifications which need endorsement vs have been endorsed at more managable levels (in the user's download history). Possibly in a togglable post so that those who aren't interested in such information don't have to read it. This is if it isn't too much of an effort for the modder and I don't expect them to do this. But it would be of much appreciated assistance. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. Yours Respectfully, MrGrymReaper

Not forgetting to donate to Audacity's team.

In response to post #24758289. #24758584, #24759744 are all replies on the same post. I once for myself tried to fix an issue with a modification on Oblvion it was the one with a castle which had captured female companion (damsel in distress) and I think a male antagonist. It also had at least one quest possibly branched can't really remember for sure was a long time ago now. Either way when I tried to fix the issue my self having read the instructions at the time, it ended up with me breaking my Oblivion installation. It ended up taking a long time to fix the issue as just reloading the game wasn't enough. I had to I think reload my entire computer. I as a result haven't touched the SDK since but have a great respect for those that do so and make modifications. Though I have been raised to believe that once you start something you carry it through to completion. Not leave it incomplete otherwise you will be left with lots of half done or otherwise incomplete tasks. If you have to stop working on a project it is a curtesy if the community can at least be allowed some notification. Can help with someone else picking up the unfinished project and carrying it completion. Though in the UK goods have to be "fit for purpose" or they can be returned for a refund. It would also be able to happen for a far longer period of time (from up to a week or a month) compared to what Bethesda were offering (just 24 hours).

There's also the EULA, GPL, Creative Commons and/ or other licensing terms for software used when making the modification (Maya 3D, Poser as well as other software). As those resources as well may not allow the content produced to be sold for monetary gain. In addition to the supplementary license agreements for content production software and/or any addon components for said software (both commercial and otherwise). This is also dependent on the edition of the software used by the modder in the first place (Free, Lite, Standard, Pro, Premium, Ultimate etc). In addition the target audience of the license terms and the software edition. The reason being the software's developer may or may not allow the content produced using the software to be sold for monetary gain. In addition they may or may not allow the monetary gain sale distribution to be for a large number of people. In addition in the case of Creative Commons License an author of piece of content or software can restrict commercial sale of said work. They may even have a clause preventing commercial sale of content produced using said piece of software (added after fact in a custom document). Failure to abide by said restrictions could lead to an appearance it court potentially for the modder and/or those involved with its distribution. As well as large bill for the royalties generated from the sale of said content dependent on content or software licensing terms. Those who were involved in the thing which was the cause of the recent crisis failed to take into account all of the above.

In response to post #24757069. #24757229, #24757314, #24757684, #24758614 are all replies on the same post. @phellen - You try paying for something on a tight budget with a large combination of mods. Which get used together in order to find conflicts and test modifications. Testing modifications becomes much harder if you had to pay for a modification in order to use it (this not only the mod being tested but also the other used as part of the test). You may not know this but I help out across multiple communities giving comments and feedback. Suggestions where I can and are currently on a team of modders working on the new episode of Maids II: Deception. Hopefully they haven't been too badly affected (if at all) by what has happened in recent days.

In response to post #24758224. @ Fifidapoodle - I don't really agree with the paid mods. Not only because I can't afford it. As well as the excessively large percentage proportion which the game developer and game publisher gave themselves compared to the insignificant amount for the mod's creator. Who did all of the hardwork using the SDK as well as fixing content bug, content glitches and working around idiosynchronicities of the game. All without having access to the game engine's own source code. Not only the too short guarentee that was present. I also view modding as a hobby and as a means of gaining experience in order to work in the industry or other similar industries.

Cause if you did or accidently clicked on the feature for the endorse/undorse during a hic-cup they may have been lost or undone accidentally. It happended to me several times in the past with my slow internet connection. As a result I was wondering whether the admin has somewhere on the server which keeps a record of endorsements especially those which were endorsed and quickly suddenly un-endorsed. The reason being I now there's a lot of mods to endorse and/or vote for some of which I now can't post a comment in (following the previous crisis we went through). So if an admin could please go through the locked or hidden comment mods which I have download and endorsed to please a word of thanks. It would be much appreciated!

In response to post #24757069. #24757229, #24757314 are all replies on the same post. @phellen - I also agree but not with paid mods as I can't really afford to always be donating or paying, for modifications as my personal situation won't allow it. Even if could afford to pay I wouldn't buy mods especially from companies which give a massive percentage to the themselves and an insignificant percentage in comparison the mod's creator. Though I would donate and depending on my current financial situation may do it regularly though likely it would be as a one off. I need to watch my finances as currently I'm out of work following an accident in the past. Though I have been around on the nexus for a long time most likely first join back during Fallout 3 and/or Oblivion based nexus generation. Later I added the Fallout New Vegas game followed by Skyrim. I have done some mods on Morrowind though not so many also was the victim during the tough growing times (when the site would crash regularly). I even became a Premium member back when the site's Lifetime Membership was around the cost of a new video game (£30.00-£40.00) circa 2006-2009.

In response to post #24732389. #24756224, #24756449 are all replies on the same post. @all - Not forgetting that we are a family of modders as well as a "Community" with its home on the Nexus (as well for some of us other places as well - though not the workshop for me). We need to come to care for other members here and try to encourage or provide a reason for reciprocation of the feeling. Also my previous post made on 15:24, 28 Apr 2015 which gives the reasons why didn't support paid mods. I'm not an entitled brat as some may call me but thinking of the tight budget at the moment while out of work (not through my own choice).

In response to post #24732389. #24756224 is also a reply to the same post. @all - While being civil we need to come together stronger than ever in order to heal. While learning from the past. In addition to moving on.

Not forgetting the Nexus of old would have hic-cups and if your were trying to press a different button or feature. You may end up pressing the wrong one potentially un-endorsing a modification you previously endorsed. I also like to endorse a modification or not based on their merits having gone through them completely. This done with constructive feedback. I would appreciate it if someone who has a list of modification which I endorsed on the nexus of old could please (will need to be an admin) go through and re-endorse any that may have been lost during a hiccup? I also donate where possible when I can afford it. Currently out of a job following an accident in the past and not much luck in the present! Thus I have to watch my finances and as a result I can't always donate. So even if I do it would be only $1.00 or $2.00 (alternatively if it a single author a bit more). It would also be a one-time thing as I don't have much money. Though I can always endorse and vote for a mod to be the one for the month. Which won't be too much on my currently tight budget given my personal situation. I also didn't agree with what we stopped based on the percentages of allocations (too little for the modder and too much for the game developer). In addition I would have to stop playing Skyrim all together as a result of my current situation and having to pay to get access. Not to mention my personal view that it is a hobby and something which can be used to build up experience. Which can be used in a CV, Portfolio or in the United States a Resume. So that it is a ground work for a paid game developer job or any other job which can utilise similar skill sets.

In response to post #24676599. #24676769, #24676814, #24676969 are all replies on the same post. @all - Also it is necessary to stand together as much as possible for as it is said:

@all - Hey we need to be CIVIL about this! We all need to calm down and stop attacking each other. If we don't we are likely to cause what everyone is afraid of and panicking about (the complete destruction of free modding). If we don't approach this with a calm, clear and reasoned mind we will get nowhere. Which will achieve nothing but the apocalyptic destruction of modding. The cyber bullying also needs to stop as this will also get us no where as well.

In response to post #16746859. I had a look at the current price for Skyrim on Steam and as you say it is really cheap. So looks like it going to be busy. @Dark0ne and rest of staff - Keep up the good work you guys and/or girls.

@Dark0ne - I have sent you a PM about your news post. With some suggestions.

@Dark0ne - Sorry if this seems to potentially be off topic. Though then again may be not but I sent you a PM with a link to some suggested reading material on this.

@Dark0ne - Thanks for going to the effort of upgrading the site to a cluster cloud multi server combo. This will certainly help when downloading/uploading large modifications as the connection issues of the past really at times got my goat. I hope too that you don't have another tough year like this current one and that instead you have a much kinder one. Keep up the excellent work and thanks for such great site(s).
